詩篇 52

1 以東人多益來告訴掃羅說：「大衛到了亞希米勒家。」那時，大衛作這訓誨詩，交與伶長。 勇士啊，你為何以作惡自誇？ 上帝的慈愛是常存的。

To the chief music-maker. Maschil. Of David. When Doeg the Edomite came to Saul saying, David has come to the house of Ahimelech. Why do you take pride in wrongdoing, lifting yourself up against the upright man all the day?

2 你的舌頭邪惡詭詐， 好像剃頭刀，快利傷人。

Purposing destruction, using deceit; your tongue is like a sharp blade.

3 你愛惡勝似愛善， 又愛說謊，不愛說公義。 (細拉)

You have more love for evil than for good, for deceit than for works of righteousness. (Selah)

4 詭詐的舌頭啊， 你愛說一切毀滅的話！

Destruction is in all your words, O false tongue.

5 上帝也要毀滅你，直到永遠； 他要把你拿去，從你的帳棚中抽出， 從活人之地將你拔出。 (細拉)

But God will put an end to you for ever; driving you out from your tent, uprooting you from the land of the living. (Selah)

6 義人要看見而懼怕， 並要笑他，

The upright will see it with fear, and will say, laughing at you:

7 說：看哪，這就是那不以上帝為他力量的人， 只倚仗他豐富的財物，在邪惡上堅立自己。

See, this is the man who did not make God his strength, but had faith in his goods and his property, and made himself strong in his wealth.

8 至於我，就像上帝殿中的青橄欖樹； 我永永遠遠倚靠上帝的慈愛。

But I am like a branching olive-tree in the house of God; I have put my faith in his mercy for ever and ever.

9 我要稱謝你，直到永遠， 因為你行了這事。 我也要在你聖民面前仰望你的名； 這名本為美好。

I will give you praise without end for what you have done; I will give honour to your name before your saints, for it is good.
